Sherlock
"Gracie why did you have to leave." I thought as I stood now alone staring at the gravestone. "You promised. I had so many things I wanted to do. I was going to take you to Paris like you wanted, or maybe Ireland. I even wanted to marry you Grace! You know me, I'm not the marrying type, but for you I would have done anything. Grace, I love you, and I can't live without you. Every night I go to bed hoping that when I wake up you will be in my arms, but you're not. I'm so sorry, because I know that none of this would have happened if it weren't for me. I was supposed to take care of you and I promised that I would never let anyone hurt you. And I failed Grace." I thought as I grabbed the top of the headstone. "Every day I hope and pray to God that Moriarty will come and kill me because I can't keep going on without you. I know that you would say that I need to stay with John because he needs me, but Grace I need you more. I don't go on cases anymore. I just can't because if I do, I'll see you and I'll hear your voice and I can't do that it hurts too much. John says I need to go see a therapist or get out of the flat. But I can't because everywhere I go, you are there, and every day I have to fight myself to not grab John's gun, stick the barrel in my mouth, and pull the trigger. But I know how disappointed you would be with me if I did. You would tell me that it's the quitter's way out and you would be right." I hit my knees grabbing a handful of dirt. "Why did you leave me, why did you have to make that deal with him Grace, we could have figured out a way out of there. You took the quitter's way out! Grace please don't be dead, I beg of you!" I started to scream her name at the top of my lung over and over again tears running down my face. I took a deep breath before I reached into my coat packet and pulled the song out laying it on the grave. "It's for you Grace, it's the song I played for you those first couple of weeks you were here. I finished it although it doesn't matter now." I walked over to the headstone leaning down to kiss it before I turned away. "I love you Grace Watson." I said as I slowly walked back to the car.
